Patient's question:
Itching of the glans penis Itching of the glans penis is a condition?Doctor's answer:
Gonococcal urethritis is characterized by redness, swelling, and burning pain of the glans, which worsens during urination. Purulent discharge may be observed from the meatus. If the foreskin is retracted, the inner surface of the foreskin and the glans will appear congested and swollen. In severe cases, superficial ulcers or erosions may be present, with purulent exudate.Regular cleaning of the foreskin and glans is essential to maintain cleanliness and dryness in the foreskin cavity. If phimosis or excessive foreskin is present, circumcision should be performed.
Treatment: Oral roxithromycin, combined with the topical product Furikang, for 1-2 weeks.
1. Avoid spicy and hot foods, such as tobacco, alcohol, and chili peppers.
2. Pay attention to local hygiene of the penis.
3. Retract the foreskin and clean the area with a 1:5000 potassium permanganate solution, then keep it dry. If the foreskin cannot be retracted, incise the back of the foreskin to facilitate drainage and cleaning.
After the inflammation subsides, circumcision is recommended for those with excessive foreskin.
